(express or implied) are still in effect with respect to the Airplane (other
than warranties which by their terms are unassignable or which would be

other reasonable steps as will enable the Buyer or the Company to process
warranty claims directly with the manufacturer.

hereunder.

otherwise affected by:
(a) any extension, renewal, settlement,

obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all

taken by any person against the Seller or any other person.
11. Survival of Representations and Warranties of the Seller
and Guarantors After Closing. Notwithstanding any right of the Buyer to
investigate fully the affairs of the Company and notwithstanding any knowledge
of facts determined or determinable by the Buyer pursuant to such investigation
23
or right of investigation, the Buyer has the right to rely fully upon the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Seller and the
Guarantors contained in this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant to
this Agreement. All such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing
hereunder. Except for those representations and warranties in Sections 3.4, 3.5,
4.1, 5.1 and 7.5 all of which representations and warranties shall survive
without limitation), all representations and warranties of the Sellers contained
in this Agreement shall terminate and expire two years after the Closing Date.
12. General Indemnification.
12.1. Obligation of the Seller and the Guarantors
to Indemnify.
(a) Subject to the limitations contained
in Article 11, the Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, successors and
assigns) from and against all Claims, losses, liabilities, damages,
deficiencies, judgments, assessments, fines, settlements, costs or expenses
(including interest, penalties and fees, expenses and disbursements of
attorneys, experts, personnel and consultants incurred by the indemnified party
in any action or proceeding between the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party or between the indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise)
("Losses") based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy
in or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the
Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Documents delivered by the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement.
24
(b) Each Guarantor, (i) severally and
not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer (and its
directors, employees, officers, affiliates, successors and assigns) from and
against all Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any
inaccuracy in or any breach of any representation or warranty of such Guarantor
contained in Article 5; and (ii), jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Buyer (and its directors, employees, officers,
affiliates, successors and assigns) from and against all Losses based upon,
arising out of or otherwise in respect of any breach of any covenant or
agreement of such Guarantor contained in Article 10.
12.2. Obligation of the Buyer to Indemnify. The
Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from and against
all Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy
in or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the
Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any documents delivered by the Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement.
12.3. Notice and Opportunity to Defend.
(a) Notice of Asserted Liability. The
party making a claim under this Article 12 is referred to as the "Indemnitee,"
and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article 12 is
referred to as the "Indemnifying Party." All claims by any Indemnitee under this
Article 12 shall be asserted and resolved as follows: Promptly after receipt by
the Indemnitee of notice of any Claim or circumstances which, with the lapse of
time, would or might give rise to a Claim or the commencement (or threatened
commencement) of a Claim including any action, proceeding or investigation (an
"Asserted Liability") that may result in a Loss, the Indemnitee shall give
25
notice thereof (the "Claims Notice") to the Indemnifying Party. The Claims
Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail, and shall
indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the
Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee.
(b) Opportunity to Defend. The
Indemnifying Party may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by
its own counsel, any Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within 30 days (or
sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the
Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the compromise of, or defense against,
such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or
defend the Asserted Liability, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as
herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement,
the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Asserted Liability.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee
may settle or compromise any Asserted Liability over the objection of the other;
provided, however, consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may
participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such Asserted Liability. If
the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee
shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other
documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.
26
13. Termination of Agreement.
13.1. Termination. This Agreement may be
terminated prior to the Closing as follows:
(a) at the election of the Seller if any
one or more of the conditions to the obligation of the Seller to close set forth
in Article 9 has not been fulfilled as of the scheduled Closing Date;
(b) at the election of the Buyer, if any
one or more of the conditions to the obligation of the Buyer to close set forth
in Article 8 has not been fulfilled as of the scheduled Closing Date;
(c) at the election of the Seller or the
Buyer, if any legal proceeding is commenced or threatened by any Governmental
Body seeking to prevent the consummation of the Closing or any other
Contemplated Transaction and the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be,
reasonably and in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed in
view of such legal proceeding;
(d) at the election of the Seller if the
Buyer has breached any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement, which breach cannot be or is not cured by the
Closing Date;
(e) at the election of the Buyer, if the
Seller or the Guarantors have breached any material representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach cannot be or is
not cured by the Closing Date; or
27
(f) at any time on or prior to the
Closing Date, by mutual written consent of the Seller and the Buyer.
If this Agreement so terminates, it shall become null and void
and have no further force or effect, except as provided in Section 13.2.
13.2. Survival After Termination. If this
Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 13.1 and the Contemplated Transactions
are not consummated, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no
further force or effect, except that any such termination shall be without
prejudice to the rights of any party on account of the nonsatisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Articles 8 and 9 resulting from the intentional or
willful breach or violation of the representa tions, warranties, covenants or
agreements of another party under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, Sections 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5, this Section 13.2 and
